Hi,
In my Enterprise distributed environment of Checkmk on version 2.0.0p24 I’ve tried to install plugin based on information below:
https://exchange.checkmk.com/p/lenovo-xclarity
I’ve installed redfish modules based on instructions.
When I implement this new rule with the default username USERID on Lenovo XClarity management, I’ve got this error message below. Is there any known action what else could I do to resolve this problem.
File "/omd/sites/name_of_site/local/share/check_mk/agents/special/agent_lenovo_xclarity", line 186, in <module>
result = get_hw_inventory(ip, login_account, login_password)
File "/omd/sites/name_of_site/local/share/check_mk/agents/special/agent_lenovo_xclarity", line 43, in get_hw_inventory

What version of the Python3 Redfish module do you have installed?
It looks like not the correct one.
Hi,
This is the output of installation process.
pip3 install redfish

It’s the same redfish version as your one.
Yes I did the installation with site user.
For the refence, currently I’m using not the latest image of appliance. I’m still using 1.4.19, which is still supported. My python3 version is little bit older 3.8.7.
What do you think is it safe to upgrade with latest appliance 1.5.x ?
Here is my call with redfish_client:

Is it possible that you had the “python-redfish” library installed from HPE on the system?
This cannot be a problem of the appliance version. The Python version is inside the CMK site.
The difference here is that my system is a CMK 2.1.0p11. But it must also work on the CMK 2.0.0pxx
Hi,
This is my result.
I just did ssh with root user, then with su site_name and ran the command pip3 install redfish.
Sorry, what exactly you mean with the question regarding “python-redish” installed from HPE on the system?
IF you’re asking about installation of MKP package, it was added through GUI.

You see same Python version as in your site.
I don’t know what went wrong in our environment.
Hi,
My environment was upgraded from version 1.6 to 2.0. Any thought about that?
Regards,
Matjaž
I would test with an empty test site and compare your prod system with the test system.
There should be no problem after an 1.6 upgrade.
Hi,
I’ve found one similar system on another site, with same version of site.
At the start, it was promising, redfish client returned result of version properly.

Then I create Xclarity Rule for this server object in Checkmk. I’ve used default management user USERID.
After some time I’ve configure Host property to Activate possible API’s
After some time I’ve got similar error like in the first example when I open this topic
Then I went back to ssh console as site user, and very strange, now also redfish client return an eror.

Do you have any idea, what could be changed in this procedure for such behavior?

Hi,
With the command
pip3 install redfish --upgrade (at least two times)
I was able to restore that the redfish library is working again.

I don’t know what happens on your machine. Something/someone must change there some Python packages over the time 
This is very strange. I also don’t know who is this something/someone.
Now for example I have a situation that one part of library (version) is working, but for exception is not working.

Sorry for the late reply. I don’t got a message about this.
The redfish.exception problem is a real bug but it is here only a problem as the connection cannot be made before.
Already the login failed in your case.
I changed this exception line to a generic exception.
Hi,
No problem, thanks for the reply.
It is really strange what is in my situation. I’m saying that, because after several days later my coworker just enabled the same rule as we already have on about ten same hardware servers and the plugin start working properly?!?. Complete mystery to me. But still one server failed to work regarding to monitoring with this plugin with the exception, even it is working previous day. Very strange and unclear to me.
You’re saying that you provide a change in the exception. Is this available in some new package or what should I change in the my current version of plugin?
Regards,
Matjaž
I uploaded a new version to my github Check_MK-Things/check plugins 2.0/lenovo_xclarity at master · Yogibaer75/Check_MK-Things · GitHub
On the CMK exchange the problem with the uploaded packages is not cleared until now.
The exchange problem can be forwarded by @Sara to the responsible persons.
